Rest Day and a Giveaway
Giveaway Closed - Congratulations to Christy M
Today was a rest day for me using the EA SPORTS ACTIVE More Workouts. However, one of my goals is to get exercise in everyday, as little as 15 minutes can make a difference. I actually tried out a couple of different exercises today- I did Billy Blanks Jr.'s Cardioke. This 30 minute workout was a combination of dance moves, aerobics and karoke. Sounds strange right? But singing while working out helps with the stamina and this was a good low impact workout on my rest day. I also think it isi good for people are not used to exercising at all, he had a range of different ages and body types in the video. A great motivator.I also did a brief Afro-Latin dance routine, I missed most of the show but I liked what I was able to do and it inspired me to do more. Finally I did a walking workout. In total it was 45 minutes of waking and sculpting. I skipped the sculpting and during that portion of the exercise I did laundry. Doing household chores also burns calories you know and since I hate laundry I do it very vigorously!
Laundry. The bane of my existance. And probably everyone else too. But like exercise it is a necessary evil. Lucky for me the one thing I don't have to worry about regarding laundry is buying detergent. My friends at Tide have ensured that I am stocked up and won't need to buy detergent for an entire year. And since it is the holidays and all, we thought that you'd like the gift of a year's worth of laundry too. The lucky winner will recieve a year's worth of coupons for Tide Coldwater.
All you have to do is tell me what tips you have to make doing laundry easier.

Actually, pretreating stains is a lot easier when you do it before you start your laundry rather than as you do your laundry.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Bending and stretching and dancing a jig always makes work time much more fun (and productive).
Thanks.
My tip would be to stay on top of it, which I never do... With four kids, it's almost impossible!
Avoid being overwhelmed and intimidated by your dirty laundry.

1. Purchase dryer sheets at the dollar store, seriously! I found Woolite sheets at the dollar tree so it really cuts down on the laundry budget.
2. IF you can get everyone to put their clothes where they belong, it helps keep you from having to go room to room for dirty laundry.
3. Did you know that used dryer sheets can clean your washing machine and dryer? I use them to wipe down my machines and get the goo, dirt off of them.
Get there early!

Second best tip is to line dry everything. Saves majorly on electricity/is environmentally friendly. If you don't live in sunny SoCal like me, buy a dehumidifier and it'll suck the moisture out of your damp clothes.

Oh - and if you care about saving money, DON"T do laundry every day - do it all at once. The most expensive part of laundry is heating up the dryer. If you do all your laundry at once, only the first load has to get heated up. Subsequent loads will already have the dryer heated up.
